Tank Crashed!!!

Hi,
My tank crashed during the night, killing 5 of my fish including a S&S puffer, damsel, Lion, Panther Grouper, and a Harl. Tusk. When I woke up, the fish lost most of their color. I did a water change the night before, so I was thinking that bleach may have entered my bucket, but I am not sure. In addition, the water was tested and everything was fine, but the ammonia was a little high. Can you help me figure this out?
I have a 180 gallon tank cycling, so I wanted to put the live rock from the tank that crashed into it, but I am very hesitant now. Should I rinse the LR, or just put it in the cycling tank, or do something different?
Any suggestions help, and thank you for your time and assistance.

You should stablize the existing tank before making any changes. Do you not have a deadicated bucket for your fish tank? Is the bucket used for other purposes?
Are there any fish left?

I only have 2 species left: a 30-40" zebra moray, and a 15-20# white ribbon eel. Everything else died.
Per the other question, I do have a designated bucket, but I do believe that one of my roomies may have used it for other purposes. That may have been the problem.
